The conversation covers the creative and technical process behind putting audiences inside a Hollywood movie, including the use of Google’s high-end digital human capture, Unreal Engine, and the Android XR platform with Gemini AI. Liman explains how the project evolved from a feature script into a 12-minute interactive experience. The team reflects on nearly a decade of experimenting with immersive technologies, from early VR series like&nbsp;<em>Invisible</em>&nbsp;to today’s high-fidelity headsets.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!</p><p>Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more! </p><p><br></p><p>Follow us on all socials @TheAIXRPodcast</p><p><a href=\"https://linktr.ee/thisweekinxr\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://linktr.ee/thisweekinxr</a>”</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Charlie Fink Productions"}
